One number is one more than a second number. Five times the first is 6 less than 4 times the second. Find the numbers.

9514 1404 393

  the numbers are -10 and -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the second number. Then the first number is x+1, and the relation can be written ...

  5(x+1) = 4x -6

  x = -11 . . . . . . . . subtract 4x+5

The first number is -10; the second number -11.

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
